The Michelson Interferometry Summer Schools exists to support the scientific community in building expertise in optical and infrared long-baseline interferometry. The lectures emphasize the fundamentals of astronomical interferometry, including the engineering and design of interferometers, the astrophysical potential of current and future instruments, and methods of observation, data reduction, and interpretation. The schools engage speakers from the interferometry community both in the United States and overseas, and seek to provide opportunities not only to teach but for students to interact with a broad range of specialists in the field. The schools followed on initially from the Workshop on Optical/IR Interferometry organized by USNO and JPL in 1998, and were then shaped into a cycle of three separate schools from 1999 to 2001 (engineering, astrophysics, data reduction). The current status and future plans for the schools will be described. The schools are funded through NASA's Origins Program and the Space Interferometry mission at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory with additional support from participating groups.
